Learning what you don’t know you don’t know

Here are some ideas to start helping you think about all the things that you want to be. And you can be more than one. There’s proof all around you.

Don’t be afraid to start at the beginning.

The suggested activities below are all connected by one main concept — exposure. You don’t know what you don’t know, so you need to put yourself in situations you’ve never been in before. Once you’ve done that — you’re ready to start putting the pieces together.

1. Create a personal manifesto — Orient it around career. Questions to get you started:

• What kind of impact do I want to have on the world around me?
• How much money do I really need to be happy?
• What is something I want to accomplish before I die?
• Do I like working in a team or on my own?
• Do I want to be talking or working for most of my work?
• What am I good at that I enjoy doing?
• What am I good at that I don’t doing?
• Who am I not?
• How many hours do I want to spend working and sleeping?
• If my life had absolutely no limits, what would I choose to do?
